Music at Midday
Each month the Boise Tuesday Musicale, the music teachers association in the valley, sponsors a wonderful, free, musical performance that is open to the public. It is held on the second Tuesday of each month at 12:00 noon and lasts for about 45 minutes.
The December program on Tuesday, December 8, is “Cathedral Bells and Pipes for Christmas” and features Sam Porter on the organ at the Cathedral of the Rockies at 12th and Franklin Street in Boise. These performances would be appropriate for any age that can sit quietly through a 30-45 minute program as they are geared to the general public, not just students.
Last month I met several homeschool families that attend each month from Mountain Home. The January program is Tuesday, January 12 at the Simplot Performing Arts Academy and features a trio of flute, clarinet, and piano called the Table Rock Trio. If you need any additional information, you can email Jill at jillcall@idahoidea.org.

Museum Comes to Life
Museum Comes to Life, the Idaho State Historical Society’s annual living celebration of history, returns this year with new performances and a touch of space exploration at the Idaho State Historical Museum and surrounding Julia Davis Park in Boise . The annual program presents a rare chance for people of all ages to watch history come alive in person. The day’s festivities create a new form of time travel, enabling people to experience – or in some cases remember – what life used to be like.
More than 50 demonstrations and exhibits of historical skills and crafts will be in full motion throughout the entire day. Celebrating technology and artisans of the past, Museum Comes to Life visitors will see medieval reenactments of dance and jousting, experience a day in the life of a fur trapper, see how wool was originally spun, watch Civil War veterans fire the 1860’s-era cannon, and much more. A one-time addition to the event this year is the NASA Exploration Experience Trailer. The 60-foot Trailer enables people to learn about NASA’s most significant historical accomplishments, take a simulated visit to the moon, and participate in an interactive display of future space exploration vehicles. Museum Comes to Life will be Saturday, September 26, from 10:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. Admission is free.

Linder Farms
Today over twelve home schooling families met at Linder Farms for a Pumpkin Patch field trip.
We had a great time with the petting animals (even a camel and zebra,) hay bale and corn maze, and a hay ride pulled by an old tractor.
Each child was able to take a pumpkin home, as long as they were able to carry it.
What a wonderful way to enjoy autumn's adventures.

Shetland Ponies
This month we are learning about horses and ponies.
<
The kids were so at ease with these Shetland Ponies. They enjoyed riding, feeding, and grooming them.
This little farm had three babies, one was only a week old and the kids were able to pet it.
